Tucker Carlson Producer Once Fired by Fox News Returns to Cable News A former Tucker Carlson producer, who was ousted from Fox News over an on-air chyron calling President Joe Biden a “wannabe dictator,” has found his way back to cable news. Alexander McCaskill recently left his post with Carlson’s post-Fox media company to work at “centrist” cable outlet NewsNation.

Ramaswamy said BuzzFeed should seek to boost its credibility by admitting that it has “lost sight of fairness” and “repeatedly lied” to the public on various matters including American politics, the trial of actor Kevin Spacey and the “bloody history” of Che Guevara’s life.

Colorado’s first-in-nation AI regulations are “a major shift,” experts say, as tech industry pushes back With the stroke of Gov. Jared Polis’ reluctant pen, Colorado this month became the first U.S. state to pass a law expressly regulating the use of artificial intelligence — a milestone that supporters said was an imperfect starting point to establish oversight of an emerging industry. The state’s new law broadly targets the risk of discrimination when companies use AI, while requiring basic levels of transparency. “I think Colorado’s AI act is a major shift in the approach to AI oversight in the United States,” said Duane Pozza, a Washington, D.C.-based lawyer who specializes in emerging technology and artificial intelligence. “… This is the first law to try to regulate AI — or at least certain kinds of AI — more comprehensively and really impose a lot of requirements on what gets defined as high-risk AI systems.” (Denver Post 5/24/24) READ MORE>>>>> May 20, 2024:

During an appearance on Jesse Watters Primetime, self-proclaimed witch Mia Magik explained to Watters her “sacred rage” rituals, which involve women screaming and letting out their rage in the wilderness. “I read your book over the weekend and I really agree with so many of the things you said about self-sabotage and self-esteem and the common denominator being the father,” she told Watters. “And you’re a great dad, but a lot of women didn’t grow up with men who care about them.

It would send them to Gaza for at least six months. I got to be honest, Congressman, when I first saw this, I thought this was a joke. Are you serious?

Trump “Playing Chicken” Says Ex-Conservative Columnist On the MSNBC show The Saturday/Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart, former conservative political pundit Jennifer Rubin said: “This is the new Republican thing.

Laura Ingraham Asks Eric Trump Why His Father Retained ‘Jughead’ Michael Cohen: ‘How Did He Ever Get Hired?’
An incredulous Laura Ingraham asked Eric Trump on Monday night why his father hired Michael Cohen as his attorney. Hours earlier, Cohen testified about his time as Donald Trump’s personal lawyer. The former president is on trial in Manhattan, where he faces 34 counts of falsifying business records. Prosecutors say Cohen paid adult film actress Stormy Daniels $130,000 to keep her quiet about an affair she says she had with Trump in 2006, and that Trump later reimbursed Cohen and fudged records to conceal the hush money payment. Cohen ultimately pleaded guilty to his role in paying the hush money – and other crimes before being sentenced to federal prison. (Media-Ite 5/13/24) READ MORE>>>>>

That dog don't hunt: Right-wing media say Kristi Noem’s vice presidential dreams are dead
Within two weeks, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem went from a potential GOP vice presidential nominee to a pariah among right-wing media. First, it was reported that her autobiography proudly tells of the time she shot and killed her 14-month-old dog Cricket, and then that there was no record of her alleged meeting with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, also recounted in the book -- until it was removed after several painfully awkward interviews on the topic. The typical response for a self-immolating conservative is a tour of friendly right-wing media outlets. But for Noem, even this is going poorly, with various on-air clashes and missed off-ramps, even though the most obsequious of hosts tried to walk her through the storm. Her book tour, now canceled, devolved into a circus of disastrous appearances in both mainstream and right-wing media.

Charlie Kirk: “Jews are experiencing the hate that we white people have been experiencing the last decade”
This is a wake up call for many Jews. And I have sympathy for American Jews that are very confused. However, I have impatience for American Jews that have put up with the anti-white sentiments the last decade and thought it was perfectly fine. Because guess what, American Jews? You're considered white in the eyes of the Marxists. What? I thought white meant, like, MAGA Christian people in Oklahoma. No. White means you too. Welcome to the most hated class in America today. And Jews are like, wait, I never thought I was white. I don't identify as white. We're Jewish. You don't get to determine the rules. Many American Jews are shocked that the organizations and the charities that they have been subsidizing want them dead. This is cut 67.
